Damn, another legend lost to cancer, and around the same age as Bowie and Lemmy as well. This has been a pretty shitty start to the year so far...

    Rough year so far....terrible.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    OMG! I just read the news. I am so sad. I loved his work. I think David Bowie and Alan Rickman were both 69, weren't they? What a sad week. I'm sad.

    I think most people remember him from Die Hard or the Harry Potter movies but he worked in several genres. Loved him in Galaxy Quest. There's also a wonderful, sweet movie that I don't think anybody saw but me: Truly, Madly, Deeply.

    RIP Mr. Rickman.

    Alan Rickman was such a fine actor. And that voice! Really bummed to hear about this.

    I was going to post this, WP, and of course you would know Truly, Madly, Deeply - what a great movie. (Although I agree - he is brilliant in Galaxy Quest.)

    That sucks. :frowning: I have never seen Harry Potter, so I remember him best from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Like the movie or not (I like it!), he was sooooooo amazingly good in that movie as the Sheriff of Nottingham!

    He was in a movie "Something the Lord Made" about the first heart surgery, and the Blaylock-Teusing [Thomas] shunt.

    Kevin Costner. Rickman's role is often highlighted as that movie's only redeemable quality, lol, but it's a really fucking entertaining movie! It is 100% true that Rickman steals the show acting-wise in it.
